MN: Milan given big pre-Pisa boost as Pulisic returns to full training – the latest

AC Milan were back in training again at Milanello two days before the trip to Pisa, and some good news came regarding Christian Pulisic.

MilanNews are reporting that Christian Pulisic returned to training with the rest of the squad this morning. The American had been training separately in recent days due to bursitis, and today he did the full session with the group, which is very positive news ahead of this weekend’s trip to Tuscany.

Alexis Saeleamaekers – still struggling with this adductor problem – carried out personalised work again today. It remains to be seen whether he will be available for Friday, but what is certain is that no risks will be taken with the Belgian and he will be given all the time necessary to recover adequately.

Therefore, it seems as though Zachary Athekame will get the nod against Pisa, having made his second Serie A start in the 3-0 win over Bologna, a game in which he had a hand in the opening goal.

What also remains to be seen is whether Massimiliano Allegri deems it worth risking Pulisic from minute one. Rafael Leao has been training with the group for much longer and appears to be in better shape, while Christopher Nkunku has recently hit form and Ruben Loftus-Cheek scored in Bologna.
